Thanks Banjoman. Thought we lost you.

Bruce Wayne could not fly even once this week. The weather is still terrible. One more week and 1916 will be here. Achille Renard did not fare much better with poor weather in April. He managed to fly only 3 days out of the entire week, but it did not stop him from scoring a confirmed kill.

. Well folks, after many months of captivity Allard Tremblay was able to make good his escape and return to the friendly side of the mud. After some much-needed R&R he was assigned to Escadrille 67 and promoted to Lieutenant. He is loving the Nieuport 11 and is making some good friends at Brocourt-en-Verdun, one of which is Jean Navarre. Allard's most recent mission was his 100th and in celebration he had his mount done up in the livery of his old Morane. By the way, Verdun is lovely in the spring, too bad the war is making such a mess of rather large swatches of the local countryside. .

Hey Lou, I like the subtle camo modification on your N11.

Today Capitaine Achille Renard led a balloon busting mission. After destroying the sausage his flight jumped a pair of Eindeckers. After some time and an exchange of fire he was able to bag one.  When it was all over the rest of his flight was already on their way home. He was on his own and damaged. Before reaching friendly lines he was attacked by a returning flight of Fokkers. He was low on ammo, but still able to fight. The turn fight started and it's then when it happened. His lower wings weakened by the bullets from the previous battle gave way and Achille plummeted down towards the ground. The fight started at low altitude so there wasn't far to go.  He survived the impact and was taken to the hospital but died the next day. R.I.P. Achille.

Banjoman, he had it easy. All those unarmed planes in the early stages. Biggest worry was his own engine failing. Times have changed.
